Child tax credits

I want to know, at the moment we get child tax credits for our 3 children, we also get the child benefit for the 3 kids.
One partner is from South Africa, and is now receiving an income in South Africa, from investments.
Do I need to tell the department why I am stopping my claim for C.T.C. ?
Or can I just write to them and ask them to stop my C.T.C. without any reason.

Why do you want to stop the payments?
If you inform of the income they can re-calculate your award.0 -

Other half just got another job, which puts income up around the £65k p.a.0 -
Does your partner work in South Africa or is it just income from there?
If your partner works (and usually lives) in South Africa you should claim as a single applicant.
If you both live in the UK you should just declare the amount of income and TCO will automatically re-calculate your award and show that you would have no more entitlement.
You dont actually need to withdraw the claim.0 -

Thanks good answer0 -
Just one more question,
If neither myself nor my partner work, can we still collect the CTC ?0 -
On an income of £65k it is far too high to claim CTC, even if neither of you work.0
